Draft MOTION FOR A EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT RESOLUTION on private copying levies (2013/2114(INI)) – Upcoming vote in the Legal Committee

[21-11-2013]

The AK welcomes the initiative of the European Parliament to call on the Commission to introduce a harmonized approach for copyright levies. Whereas in general, many of the proposals are worth supporting especially those relating to transparency of levies with respect to consumers, AK regrets that the proposal endorses the current system of copyright levies.
